  • the lance intermediate section L on which the lifting configuration 52 and the recess 54 of the sleeve ring 50 are arranged lies between the latching hooks 40 and the displacement configurations 42.
  • the locking hooks 40 and the displacement configurations 42 each have the slope S, the slope S of the locking hook not having to run at the same angle to the lance 38 as the slope S of the displacement configurations 42.
  • the respective slopes of different embodiments can be different.
  • Fig. 5 shows the carrier element 30 with the sleeve ring 50 arranged thereon, the sleeve ring 50 with the lifting configuration 52 being arranged in the area of the lance intermediate section L.
  • the lances 38 are in a non-displaced state. If the sleeve ring 50 is displaced in the insertion direction SR S by means of a movement of the sleeve element 48 (see FIG Fig. 1 ), the lifting configurations 52 each press on the slope S of the displacement configurations 42 (see FIG Fig. 4 , here covered by the lifting configuration 52), whereby the lances 38 are increasingly elastically displaced radially outward. If the lifting configuration 52 glides back along the bevels S to the intermediate lance sections L, the lances shift back into their original position.
  • FIG. 14 is a perspective view of the sleeve assembly 64, with FIG In the present embodiment, the sleeve assembly 64 comprises the sleeve element 48 and the sleeve ring 50.
  • the sleeve ring 50 has a recess 54 in each of its lifting configurations 52, whereby the lifting configuration 52 is spaced from the hollow cylindrical body of the sleeve element 48 such that the lance 38 can be arranged between the sleeve element 48 and the lifting configuration 52.
  • the number of recesses 54 corresponds in the present case to the number of lances 38, namely three.
  • Fig. 7 shows a perspective view of a plug 46.
  • the plug 46 is formed in the present case as a male connector, ie the plug 46 is formed with its male connection contacts for insertion into the female connection contacts AK of the connector 10, and has a cable (not shown) with five in the present case Line contacts or strands (not shown) thereof.
  • the cable or the strands are formed for carrying an electrical current and / or transmitting electronic signals.
  • the strands are each connected to a connection contact (not shown) of a plug insulation body (not shown).
  • the plug insulation body essentially has a cylindrical shape and is made of a non-conductive material, in this case thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU).
  • TPU thermoplastic polyurethane
  • the plug 46 has a radially outer thread 58, the thread 58 having a plurality of axially extending lowered areas 60, a holding configuration 44 also being formed on the rear sections of the lowered areas 60 in the plug-in direction of the plug connector 10.
  • lances 38 extend along lowered areas 60 up to holding configuration 44 and undercut holding configuration 44 with latching hooks 40.
  • a lowered area 60 is provided on plug 46 for each lance 38 .
  • the lowered areas 60 can be produced by milling out the thread 58.
  • the holding configuration 44 has a bevel S on which the bevel S of the latching hook 40 can slide, as a result of which the lance 38 is elastically displaced radially outward until the latching hook 40 engages behind the holding configuration 44 and undercuts the holding configuration 44.
  • Fig. 8 shows the connector system comprising the plug 46 and the plug connector 10 in the separated state, the arrow 62 showing the plug direction in which the plug 46 can be pushed into the plug connector to establish an electrically conductive connection.
